## Associating Files with the Perl Editor

Eclipse associates file extensions with editors. If another plug-in is installed, the EPIC Perl Editor might not be used as the default editor when opening *.pl, *.pm or *.cgi files. To associate these file extensions with the Perl Editor, choose Window → Preferences... from the Eclipse menu and select Workbench → File Associations. If the Perl extensions are missing, they can be created by pressing the Add... button. Select the Perl Editor from the list and press the Default button.

### Note

Regrettably, there is currently no way to associate EPIC with script files that do not have any specific extension but instead begin with the `#!/usr/bin/perl` line.
